Ladies, I hope you are doing well and enjoying this Eastertide journey we are on. This week, we're talking about FEAR, and I've chosen to zoom in on a shorter passage of scripture from the larger passage we read last week.
I'm praying this ministers to you in some way. I'm also praying it offers space for us to speak openly and honestly with each other. I believe fear is holding too many of us hostage and mostly because we don't know what to do with it. The evangelical message has been simply, "Don't fear." Yes, that's Biblical. However, fear is an emotion given to us by God to keep us safe. There is a healthy fear! We just want to be healthy. So, how. Let's follow God into the middle of all our fears and see what He wants to teach us there.
Jesus, thank you for journeying with us. Sometimes we don't recognize You, but we believe You are here. There are times when we are sad, disappointed, and even a little lost in this world, because the expectations of our humanity get in the way. When You make yourself very evident, though, our hearts burn within us. Will you help us to recognize that and trust it. Your presence can make us brave. Today, we commit ourselves to You. We want to be transformed by Your presence in our lives and Your power in our bodies. We belong to You, and that Truth makes us glad. Amen.
